Mark VI Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Blurb from the Allen Wilson Sporting News Article on the Bills Wisconsin DT Anttaj Hathaway ( 6-3 320 ) may get strong consideration in the draft if he's available in the second round. Bills defensive line coach Tim Krumrie attended a Wisconsin workout recently and personally went through one-on-one drills with all the Badger defensive linemen. Krumrie came away impressed with Hathaway's toughness and tenacity, traits Krumrie displayed as a player. Hathaway also has good quickness and a knack for disrupting plays in the backfield. I looked him up on the GBN Report and he was ranked #54 out of the top 150 prospects. Fair chance he might be there in Round #2. I realize every mock draft has us picking a OL but we lost a pretty good DT in the last month. http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/2005/hawthorne_anttaj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take him 2-3 years to become a competent OG. By that time our defense will be over the hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when we'll read dozens of posts stating no one is worthy of our 2nd round pick. We should just trade down and aquire 3 or 4 6th rounders, otherwise we'd just blow the pick.

RVJ Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Here's a mock with us taking a DT. Luis Castillo DT 6'3" 305 Northwestern Excels at run stopping. He is a big, strong , intelligent playmaker who controls the middle of the line. http://www.insidetheeagles.com/2005mockdraft2ndRound.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I really hope the Bills dont take a DT in Round Two, just because I think that we addressed that last year with Anderson and we STILL have a very capable Ron Edwards on roster. On the O-Line...we have no decent depth like we do at DT and seriously need to consider using both our 2nd and 3rd rounders to bolster the O-Line.

TigerJ Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I would not mind Hawthorne or Castillo. Patterson's lack of size makes me nervous. NE drafted Dan Klecko a few years ago as an undersized DT. They tried him at linebacker. He just doesn't seem to fit anywhere. I'm not convinced that Patterson would hold up in the NFL and he doesn't have as much speed/quickness as Klecko did. BTW, how did you ever get Hathaway out of Hawthorne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Mark, it would not be a huge shock to see this happen, but imo the needs at CB and OG are SO huge, that a DT with the first pick seems improbable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
